Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 4–Alternatives EvaluationThere are currently no transit options available for residents living in Georgetown, Greenville, andthe unincorporated areas of the County. The Floyd County Board of Commissioners has beenrecently approached by Southern Indiana Transit System (SITS) to gauge the interest indeveloping an on-demand transit service for rural Floyd County. SITS provides the same servicefor approximately four other rural counties. The County Commissioners and County Council are inthe process of discussing appropriate funding options and developing a benchmark system toensure that the transit is being adequately used by the public. We recommend that the Countyconsider this type of on demand transit service as a possible component to a solution that reducescongestion on Floyd County roadways.4.06 MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATIONS ANALYSISA. Corridor OperationsWith the proposed improvements in place, the corridor operations will not deteriorate significantlyin the year 2030. Old Vincennes Road and Paoli Pike continue to be the worst performingcorridors because of the heavier traffic volumes that they serve. All the corridors operate at LOS Dor better. The operations are shown in Table 4.06-1.TimeLocation AM Peak Hour PM Peak HourCounty Line Road LOS C LOS CPaoli Pike LOS D LOS DOld Vincennes Road LOS D LOS DEdwardsville Galena Road LOS C LOS CBaylor Wissman Road LOS B LOS BTable 4.06-1 Final Corridor LOS from HCSB. Intersection Operations1. US 150/Old Vincennes/Paoli PikeIf all the proposed improvements are incorporated into the roadway network, theintersection operations at nearly all locations studied will be acceptable in the year 2030.During the AM peak-hour all intersections along US 150 will operate at LOS C or better.The intersections along Paoli Pike will operate at LOS D. The four-way stop controlledintersections of Old Vincennes Road/Luther Road and Scottsville Road/St. Mary’s Road willhave the worst operations at LOS E during the AM peak-hour.During the PM peak-hour some intersections along US 150 will operate poorly. Mostintersections will operate at LOS D or better. The intersections of US 150/Buck Creek Roadand US 150/Brush College Road will operate at LOS F during the PM peak-hour. This isdue to the heavy through volumes on US 150 westbound. The study team recognizes,however, that traffic signals at every intersection on US 150 is not feasible. Instead, thestudy team recommends leaving Brush College Road and Buck Creek Road unsignalizedand providing connections to nearby roads where possible.Prepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-51KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007

This causes long queuesin the eastbound direction during the AM peak-period and westbound during the PM peakperiod.The intersection operations of the US 150 intersection area are shown in Table4.06-2 and Table 4.06-3.Intersection OperationsAM Peak HourPM Peak HourLocationOverallIntersection OpsLOS FMovement(s)OverallIntersection OpsLOS FMovement(s)US 150 and Old Vincennes Road LOS A LOS BUS 150 and Lawrence Banet Road LOS C LOS DUS 150 and Luther Road LOS B LOS DUS 150 and Paoli Pike LOS C LOS DUS 150 and Brush College LOS B LOS F SBRUS 150 and Buck Creek LOS D LOS F SBL, SBRUS 150 and Stiller Road LOS A LOS AUS 150 and Navilleton Road LOS B LOS CUS 150 and Edwardsville–GalenaRoadLOS CLOS BNote: NBL = Northbound Left NBT = Northbound Through NBR = Northbound RightSBL = Southbound Left SBT = Southbound Through SBR = Southbound RightEBL = Eastbound Left EBT = Eastbound Through EBR = Eastbound RightWBL = Westbound Left WBT = Westbound Through WBR = Westbound RightTable 4.06-2 Final Intersection Operations from Synchro/SimTraffic on US 150Intersection OperationsAM Peak HourPM Peak HourLocationOverallIntersection OpsLOS FMovement(s)OverallIntersection OpsLOS FMovement(s)Old Vincennes Road and Duffy Road LOS B LOS BOld Vincennes Road and SchreiberRoadLOS BLOS BOld Vincennes Road and LutherRoadLOS ELOS BLuther Road and Schreiber Road LOS B LOS APaoli Pike and Luther Road LOS D LOS CPaoli Pike and Scottsville Road LOS D LOS CScottsville Road and St. Mary’s Road LOS E LOS CPaoli Pike and Buffalo Trail LOS D LOS CPaoli Pike and Kenzig Road LOS C LOS CNote: NBL = Northbound Left NBT = Northbound Through NBR = Northbound RightSBL = Southbound Left SBT = Southbound Through SBR = Southbound RightEBL = Eastbound Left EBT = Eastbound Through EBR = Eastbound RightWBL = Westbound Left WBT = Westbound Through WBR = Westbound RightTable 4.06-3 Final Intersection Operations from Synchro/SimTraffic along Paoli Pike andOld Vincennes RoadPrepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-52KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007
